A New Concept for the Tournament Structure in 2004

One of the problems that has occured with the 2v2, random pairings in Qualifying Matches is that some teams get tough pairings and other teams get advantageous pairings. This affects the overall tournement outcome, even for teams that are not directly affected by these particular pairings.

In other words, if you get paired with tough pairings and advantageous pairings equally, but someone else gets only advantageous pairings, you have to perform at a higher level in order to maintain the same ranking.

What if the tournament structure continued as is (2v2, 4 random teams selected for each match, what teams are in a match are announced in advance) however the alliance pairings were determined at match time based on current rankings.

The highest seed is allied with the lowest seed (call this the blue alliance) and the middle seeds are paired with each other (call this the red alliance).

This concept would guarantee that the eight best teams floated to the top.
